So can someone explain to me the new RS.com download limit?

I’m not new on here by any means…I’m just wondering what the new daily download limit is for RS.com now…Is it 10GB daily with no rollover? I think before the most recent switch it was 5GB/day but you could roll it over up to 50GB, right?
And what’s traffic share?
Answer #1
On all new accounts, its 80GBs a month .
Answer #2
I’ve had my account for a while…This is what it says:
Traffic left:9 240 MB (+55 GB)
Answer #3
According to a sign-up page (that I’ve now lost) you get ‘given’ 2.67Gigs a day.
If you don’t use it all it carries forward to the next day
And builds up to a maximum of 10Gigs, but no higher.
2.67Gigs/day works out as 80Gigs/month, but you don’t get it all at the start of the month.
Traffic Share is like a back up thingy. If you need to download something but have used up your daily allocation and any ‘build-up’ from previous days, well you can convert some of your Traffic Share into download-quota-stuff. Though I don’t know how much, how often, and whether it is a 1:1 conversion.
I think the above is true, no doubt someone will pipe up if I’m not .
ps. Anyone already having a premium account is unaffected by these changes until they renew the account. I’m gonna continue to get 10Gigs/day for the next 200+days, after which no doubt the change will come fkme.
Answer #4
If you’re account ain’t expired yet you follow those rules:
10G/day and 50G for 5 days, then it renews on the previous basis till the end of your account.
New rules since last week (or so):
80G/month… which leads to 2.66G/day, if you downloaded too much you xan buy (!) so more TrafficShare… to extend your account.

Man seems like the place is really getting as much as it can from the customer and giving as little as possible GRRR.

Kind of. TrafficShare is bandwidth that can only be bought. New premium accounts come with 10GB of TrafficShare bandwidth. Premium accounts created with points do not come with any TrafficShare. Rapidshare points won’t help you obtain TrafficShare bandwidth. TrafficShare is primarily used for files that you want to make easier for free users to download. When a free user downloads a file that you have designated as TrafficShare, they don’t get any prompts, web pages, wait times or capatchas. They download directly like a premium user would. The bandwidth that is used from the downloads of these files is subtracted from the TrafficShare bandwidth total. When the TrafficShare bandwidth reaches zero, then the downloads turn back into normal downloads. The most recent change automatically takes TrafficShare bandwidth and transfers it to your download bandwidth when your download bandwidth reaches zero. This is done in 1GB chunks and there is no way to turn it off. To get everyone used to the change, rapidshare gave everyone 50GB of free TrafficShare bandwidth.
Another change worth mentioning is that now 1 point is worth 9MB of download bandwidth instead of the previous 15MB.

You’ve got to be kidding me.
